Dusky and Serene

With this new piece, I wanted to try a few different things. First: break up the composition between 2 canvases. Second, try to work smaller than I usually do. Third: try to create a mood. My favorite time of the day is when the sun has just set and there is a magical blue cast over everything outside. My father says it isn't a blue but it is to me. Everything just looks so much more beautiful in that light. I can't replicate that color and how it makes everything look but I'm trying very hard to create that mood through this painting. Fingers crossed since there are a lot of unfamiliar factors in play.
